Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueA NeedB TradesD- FutureB+
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Mukuba: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Andrew Mukuba got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 35.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 24th pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
The board had Jihaad Campbell higher than pick No. 49, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in Round 3, Pick 4 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Good price on Kyle Kennard in pick 76, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick118 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Somehow Donovan Jackson was still sitting there in slot 118, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
You do not let a linebacker like Carson Schwesinger reach the 150th overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at No. 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Steal is underselling it; Mello Dotson at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 174 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick249 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 249th pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
